Abstract

See full text

Techniques are described for controlling electronic devices via a plurality of communication channels. For example, a control device may undergo a programming process to enable communication between the control device and a particular electronic device via a first communication channel. After programming is complete, the control device is configured to transmit command(s) to the particular electronic device via the first communication channel. The control device is further configured to perform a pairing sequence with the particular electronic device via the first communication channel to enable control of the particular electronic device via the second communication channel. The control device may determine the proper pairing sequence to be performed and monitor whether the user has performed the proper pairing sequence using the control device. Upon successful completion of the pairing process, the control device is configured to transmit command(s) to the particular electronic device via the second communication channel.
